The Hitachi LAB‑X5000 is a rugged, benchtop energy‑dispersive XRF (EDXRF) analyzer engineered for fast, reliable elemental analysis across industries—from petrochemicals and polymers to minerals, cement, lubricating oils, and general chemicals. Its intuitive, industrial-grade touchscreen, one-touch measurement start, and optimized software and hardware deliver high-throughput analysis suited for both labs and demanding production environments.
Key Specifications & Performance Highlights
User Interface & Usability: Features a large, chemical-resistant industrial touchscreen and a streamlined navigation system inspired by Hitachi’s handheld analyzers. Measurements begin with a simple one-touch start, boosting operator efficiency.
High-Resolution Detection & Sample Handling: Equipped with a high-resolution detector that shortens analysis time. The automatic sample spinner ensures consistent results even with inhomogeneous samples. A safety window and auto-retract sample positioner protect the instrument from spills or sample cup leaks.
Versatile Application Support: Comes with pre-configured parameters for analyzing cement, minerals (meeting ASTM C114), lubricating oils (compliant with ASTM D6481 and D7751), and more.
Operational Reliability & Cost Efficiency: Offers atmospheric compensation allowing measurements in air—minimizing helium use and reducing operational costs. Built for 24/7 industrial use with durable design and few consumable requirements.
Data Management & QC Capabilities: Stores up to 100,000 results internally, supports print & USB export, and can upload results via Wi-Fi to ExTOPE Connect cloud with automated syncing. Advanced QC routines, including pass/fail alerts, SmartCheck messages, and control graphs, help ensure measurement consistency.
Applications
Petrochemical & Fuel Analysis
The Hitachi LAB-X5000 delivers fast, reliable elemental analysis for fuels, oils, and petrochemical products—helping refineries, biofuel producers, and fuel distributors meet strict global standards. With one-touch operation, robust construction, and built-in compliance methods, it streamlines sulfur, chlorine, and lead testing while minimizing operating costs through atmospheric compensation.
Lab-X5000 Advantages in Petrochemical & Fuel Analysis
Rapid Testing: One-touch start with results in seconds for high-throughput workflows.
Enhanced Durability: Automatic sample retraction protects against spills.
Quality Control: SmartCheck and pass/fail alerts ensure consistent results.
Data Management: Stores 100,000 results with USB, print, or cloud export options.
Minerals & Cement Analysis
The Hitachi LAB-X5000 offers streamlined, high-throughput elemental analysis for minerals and cement, enabling rapid quality control with minimal sample prep. Its intuitive one-touch operation, rugged industrial design, and precision measurement of key oxides (e.g., SiO₂, Al₂O₃, CaO, Fe₂O₃, Na₂O, MgO) ensure reliable batch-to-batch consistency. Equipped with a built-in sample spinner, atmospheric compensation, and SmartCheck QC routines, the LAB-X5000 delivers fast, accurate results—even in demanding on-site environments—while storing up to 100,000 results with flexible export and cloud upload options.
Lab-X5000 Advantages in Minerals
High-Throughput & Simple Workflow: Grind, press into a pellet, insert, and hit “Start”—results in minutes via the large touchscreen.
Comprehensive Oxide Coverage: Measures all major elements relevant to minerals and cement, meeting ASTM C114 precision standards.
Repeatability & Durability: Sample spinner enhances reproducibility; rugged build and auto-sample retraction protect against spill damage.
Smart Quality Control: SmartCheck enables pass/fail alerts and post-measurement checks to ensure compliance and process control.
Low Operational Cost: Atmospheric compensation avoids the need for helium or vacuum purge in most cases.
Versatile Data Handling: Stores up to 100,000 results locally; supports USB, integrated printing, and automatic upload via ExTOPE Connect cloud.
Lubricating Oils Analysis
The Hitachi LAB-X5000 simplifies high-throughput quality control of lubricating oil blends by delivering rapid, precise elemental analysis of key additives—such as Mg, P, S, Cl, Ca, Zn, and Mo—with minimal sample preparation. Fully compliant with ASTM D6481 and D7751 standards, this rugged benchtop XRF analyzer features a one-touch workflow, atmospheric compensation (with optional helium purging for low-energy elements), and built-in SmartCheck QC routines. Designed for durability in 24/7 industrial environments, it stores up to 100,000 results and supports USB, printer, or cloud export for streamlined data management.
Lab-X5000 Advantages in Lubricating Oils Analysis
Fast & Easy Operation: Simply pour oil into a sample cup, insert, and press the touch-screen start button for quick results.
Wide Element Coverage: Measures critical lubrication additives including Mg, P, S, Cl, Ca, Zn, and Mo.
Standards Compliance: Pre-loaded parameters meet or exceed ASTM D6481 and D7751 requirements.
Low Running Costs: Built-in atmospheric variation compensation allows air-based analysis; helium is used only when necessary (e.g., for Mg).
Spill Protection & Durability: Safety window and automated turntable safeguard against spills with minimal maintenance.
Smart Quality Control: SmartCheck routines provide pass/fail indicators and QC control graphs for lubricant blend confidence.
Robust Data Handling: Stores up to 100,000 records locally; export options include USB, built-in printer, or ExTOPE Connect cloud.
